Ad this, ASJ and the surprise

The new ad is up and when I first seen it I knew just what I was going to use on it.Since I first stumbled across Ruby Street ages ago when Mandy and I were doing heaps of blog hopping trying to find just the right team for the shabby site I have been a lover of the kits and have accumulated a few little dress cuts outs. I so wanted to use them on a layout but the trouble was finding just the right photo for it. None of the ones I had here of Missy or even myself really seemed to suit the look I wanted so I headed down to Mum's and raided her photo album for some old pics of me.I ended up pulling out some more of my vintage yummies from What is old is new and some flowers from De-lish as well and I am so happy with the way this one turned out.

Wow this month at we had a free for all. We got to choose our own jacks and I chose to jack one of my favorite layouts of Mandy and boy was it soooooo hard not to let it slip out. Mandy and I chat via email at least once a day, several sometimes, especially when we have new challenges or voting for Shabby being sorted.

Here is Mandy's stunning page.

I love the way she used the Basic Grey bird cage stamps and I used that as a starting point for my layout although I ended up cutting mine for the paper instead of stamping them.

Anyway I had better go. I have got to get dd sorted out and ready for a play date and a sleepover tomorrow, pack for an all day crop followed by a crop night at a girl friends.

Yeap I so can't wait.

As usual thanks for popping by,any comments and till next time happy scrapping.
